I believe you are right with the term confirmation bias, also cognitive dissonance (refusing to accept facts/evidence presented). Yeah it's pretty prevalent these days on many other topics, it's harmful to society. Like I said, I like a good conspiracy theory and the world is messed up that many of these theories are actually fact but many of them are just completely nuts.

Parts of me thinks it might be done by design in the form of "controlled opposition" to make something seem so far fetched to cover up guilty persons by making the notion seem so unrealistic. I do believe this thing is manmade in a lab and it's origins covered up so their is def some questionable things behind it, I wont deny that.

he's mostly better, I'm not, well I'm not shaking hands with the grim reaper either but I have many long term effects that impact my life a great deal and there currently is no treatment for them but the good news, so many more have the same long term symptoms and funding/ medical science is looking for some answers and how to treat, perhaps something will prevail in time. For now, I have to re-adjust my expectations of myself and learn to pace myself so I don't crash and burn so quick. Insomnia has been a big problem tho, it doesn't help the fatigue/ needing rest part. Hopefully the world rids of this virus once and for all soon before more people become permanently damaged from it both physically and psychologically.
